'Or this car is good, after all, is an independent suspension!
I believe many people in the process of electing a car, will often hear such a similar words, one-sided understanding is that the independent suspension is a little more advanced and comfortable.
That is flicker, or the fact that today, just like big guy 嘚 嘚 it!
First of all, the current car is generally suspended before the independent suspension, only the rear suspension independent and non-independent, so we generally discuss a car is not independent suspension, that is, talking about the type of rear suspension.
Of course, there are many independent suspension and non-independent suspension, respectively, while the general family car, after the independent suspension is usually multi-link, non-independent suspension is usually torsion beam.
What is that independent suspension?
Independent suspension system is the wheels on each side are individually suspended by the elastic suspension system under the frame or body can also be simply understood as four wheels are independent individuals encountered potholes , Each suspension can shrink, rebound and other work, without disturbing each other.
Its advantage is to make the vehicle more affixed to the ground, open up more stable; left and right wheels beating alone, irrelevant, can reduce the body tilt and vibration, high comfort, but also to improve the handling performance is also helpful.
The disadvantage is the complex structure, high cost, maintenance inconvenience. The most important thing is because of his complex structure, will occupy some of the car ride space, just like the pursuit of control of the Mazda Angkes Cera, rear space is really impressive!
Non-independent suspension it?
The structural feature of a non-independent suspension system is that the wheels on both sides are connected by a monoblock frame, the wheels together with the axle are suspended by the elastic suspension system under the frame or body, that is to say when encountering potholes , One of the wheels driving suspension contraction, rebound and other work, it will affect the other side of the wheel.
So the disadvantage is obvious, the left and right wheels bouncing, will be implicated in each other, thereby reducing the comfort of ride, the subjective feeling is to open up very Britain, but also because of the simple structure of the design of the freedom of small control stability Relatively poor. And these shortcomings also led to everyone think that non-independent suspension of non-senior reason.
However, the advantages of course, there are some, it is simple, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance. Relatively speaking, because of its simple structure, not particularly occupied. General use of non-independent suspension of the car, rear space Not very small, Corolla, Sylphy and other models is a good example!
That independent suspension is higher than the non-independent suspension yet?
If you think so, PSA Group first refuses to accept, after all, people play a torsion beam for decades, take Peugeot and Citroen, the vast majority of their models are used after the suspension type torsion beam are not independent Even the Peugeot 5008, Citroen Tianyi C5AIRCROSS and other flagship SUV models are no exception.
You may say: This is why they can not sell well. Well ... it makes sense to say that, but you can not sink a boat by a stick. It's very responsible to tell you that in fact Peugeot and Citroen use some of the torsion beam models, their driving comfort, including really not as good as the comfort of comfort, and even more than some of the same level with multi-link independent suspension feel even better! Do not believe you can go try !
When it comes to this you may be asked again: Then you said that non-independent suspension will reduce the comfort of riding, why turn around and PSA for them to advertise?
First of all, I did not advertise for them, and secondly, why did it do so well for the simple reason that they really know how to tune! The name of Master Chassis Master indeed has two brushes!
In fact, many of the more powerful automotive engineers can think that multi-link, double wishbone independent suspension is not superior than the torsion beam, but the torsion beam suspension design is more complex! Amount ... This is why?
In their understanding, the multi-link, double wishbone structure of the independent suspension is actually easy to engineer engineers want the effect you want, after all, its inherent advantages placed there, but to the simple structure of the torsion beam suspension want to design Into the same performance is very difficult.
Therefore, the torque beam suspension tuning done well, not only have a good driving texture and handling performance, the space can be guaranteed, from this perspective, it will not be more advanced it?
Only a torsion beam can be tuned well brand, one of the few! After all, many people are not willing to spend so much thought in this one 'stick', which is why even subject to the cost constraints, equipped with non Independent suspension of the domestic models are also less and less reasons.
In fact, do not buy a car too tangled
No one is perfect, the car without a car, this is a real truth.From the general economic practicality of the family car, in fact, do not too tangled independent suspension and non-independent suspension, or from their own Needs to consider.Want to space, low cost, non-independent suspension is not bad.While want a little comfort, little space requirements, it must be independent suspension model is better, which There is no doubt.
If for the so-called control a little better, but to blindly choose independent suspension model is actually undesirable.Even leaving aside those well tuned torsion beam non-independent suspension models, in fact, the general non-independent suspension and independent suspension The difference between the models in daily driving, the impact of the control basically the same, only in the more extreme driving conditions will reflect their difference. Of course, some performance cars on the other said!
